stunning landscapes from endless castles medieval towns straight out of a fairy tale and the towering bavarian alps germany has so much to offer let’s start this video off in the magical village of rottenburg now when you go to rottenburg you’ll feel like you’re walking in a fantasy movie it’s one of the most preserved medieval old towns in all europe during the middle ages rottenburg thrived as it was located at the crossroads of european trade routes at the beginning of the 15th century it rose to becoming the second largest city in all germany but during the 17th century rottenburg faced adversities such as the 30-year war and the bubonic plague without much resources rottenburg’s growth was halted which aided in keeping the town preserved in its medieval state today rottenberg maintains its medieval charm and it’s been the inspiration for sets of disney movies such as pinocchio if you go you can check out the famous floating corner or witness the beautiful christmas markets and which is hard to beat the lore of this german village from rottenburg you can make the three hour drive to the beautiful city of munich also known as bavaria’s capital munich is located in the south of germany about 50 kilometers from the alps during world war ii munich was heavily bombed by over 70 air raids but today the city is restored to its former beauty one of the most popular spots is the marion platz central square you’ll find the new town hall with its stunning clock tower and historical figurines after exploring munich we’re going to head to the alps to visit burke tescaden now i have to say this may be one of the most beautiful towns in all of germany it’s just a two hours drive from munich and it’s nestled in the bavarian alps one of my favorite features of the town is the watsman mountain it has these uniquely shaped peaks that tower over the town it almost looks like someone took a bite out of it there’s so many beautiful churches around burke this garden to explore such as the maria giron church which offers a perfect view of the votsman peaks just south of the town is where hitler’s former eagle’s nest retreat is located it’s now a restaurant with unbelievable views the area is full of stunning alpine lakes such as hintersy which offers just incredible views you can also visit the burke tescada national park and explore all its hidden treasures

is this town called lindau now what makes it so unique is that it’s this island now was first mentioned by a monk in the 9th century and during medieval times it became quite the fortified city today it’s a popular place to visit i just love the harbor and just the fact that it’s an island i mean just such a cool place another picturesque city on lake constant is meersburg it’s located right on the shores and it’s a historical town like the beautiful colored houses and i just can’t think of a better place to go during a warm german summer after we’re going to visit the hon zalan castle now i have to say this is one of the most impressive castles in all of germany it sits perfectly on mount holstein and can be seen from miles away honzalon is the last of three castles that was built upon this hill it was completed in 1867 as memorial to the prussian royal family today it’s one of germany’s most visited castles and i understand why another stunning castle in germany is the kohen castle the original castle was built back in the 1100s and it made its money by collecting shipping tools on passing ships down on the river sadly is destroyed in 1689 by the french but in 1868 a wealthy

world war ii it was the headquarters of hitler’s third reich and became the most heavily bombed city in history after the war berlin was divided into the east and west berlin with the end of the cold war east and west berlin were finally reunited in 1990 so one of my favorite spots is the radenburg gate it’s this 18th century neoclassical monument that is germany’s national symbol of unity and peace you can also check out the berlin wall memorial to see remnants of the historical wall after berlin we’re gonna head over to hamburg located in northern germany on the elbe river hamburg is the

summer time now after hamburg we’re gonna head over to frankfurt located in west central germany frankfurt is one of europe’s major financial hubs and it’s home to the european central bank it’s full
